NOTICE OF DNA PROJECT

Those with an uncertain Cornell, Cornwell or Cornwall ancestry can benefit from an
ongoing DNA project that may help pinpoint which family line they belong to.

Any who are pretty certain they descend from Thomas and Rebecca Cornell or William
Cornwell of Middletown, CT can verify their ancestry by being tested as well as help
those of us still uncertain.

Completed testing already provides evidence that the Cornell and Cornwall families
share a common ancestor around 1500 and also that there are several other family lines
unrelated to them but using the Cornell, Cornwall and Cornwell surnames. (Note that
the Cornwell spelling is a variant used in both Cornell and Cornwall lines.)

Be aware that a reduced price is available by joining this group prior to testing.

REBECCA CORNELL: Was She a Briggs?

The link below provides a discussion about Rebecca Cornell. Your participation is
invited in this topic of general interest to Cornell researchers.

Also, be aware of the book titled "Killed Strangely, The Death of Rebecca Cornell"
by Elaine Forman Crane, Cornell University Press, Ithaca & London, 2002, ISBN
0-8014-4002-5 and now is available in paperback. It contains an interesting examination
of the Cornell family at the time of this sad chapter in their lives. Highly recommended.

"TO THE CORNELLS"

In 1867, Ezra Cornell had a notice printed to send Cornells who wrote him about his own
family and ancestry. Two researchers, Rowena Marten and Jane Knobloch, obtained copies of the
notice from the Cornell University Library and provided them to me for this transcript. This is a
reproduction intended to look like the original with the same information.
